Saturday 26th August | 2023 | 11am - 8pm
Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre
FREE ENTRY | Parking £10 per vehicle
Nottinghamshire Day is held on the 25th of August each year with the annual celelbrations being held at the weekend, 26th August. The date marks the anniversary of the start of the English Civil War, an event triggered by Charles I raising the royal standard at Nottingham Castle in 1642.
Nottinghamshire Day is an opportunity to celebrate the identity, heritage, culture, and local traditions of our county. It is a way to champion our local communities, to better understand and celebrate the histories and traditions of the places we live, work and enjoy in our leisure time.
What to expect on 26th August
Throughout the event day, there will be a host of interactive events and activities including storytelling, guided walks, medieval musicians, quizzes, archery, and axe throwing, and more!
Back by popular demand, crowd favourites, The Sherwood Outlaws, will be returning to bring the legend of Robin Hood to life with their all-action arena show. Will the Sheriff of Nottingham’s troops get the better of the outlaws in combat. Or will Robin and his Merry Band prove too skilled with the blade and the bow? Don’t miss this spectacular event.
Also new for this year is a family-focused zone where festival-goers of all ages can get involved and enjoy a range of activities including Inspire’s The Big Draw and Time to Connect photography.
It's set to be a fantastic fun family filled day so come and join the celebrations!
Cost: entrance to the festival is FREE. Please note for those travelling via car, parking will be £10 per vehicle, per day in line with all events at this venue between 27-29 August.
